Agreed on both, and Myles Kennedy is great too. I really like Alter Bridge
- John Jaeckel

Myles is amazing saw him with Slash front row a few summers back, he gave me the setlist after the show and shook mine and my son's hands.

This is a fact apparent to everyone but the current resident of the White House and his economic "team".

Bottom line in relation to the cap IMO. The Canadian economy and loonie will be rebounding relative to the US (absent catastrophe) and that should lead to stronger increases in the cap. There are other risks of course to the cap - like a tank in the US economy bringing down everything - but that doesn't appear to be happening. We've survived the most oppressive tax regime the US has ever seen. Corporate taxes here are 10% higher than the next closest developed nation. When/if it reforms here things could really turn up. The debt created by this thing in the WH will be another matter though... it will take decades to address if ever.

And the other 5 about Sharp hitting the hay with someone's wife....I miss the hockey talk..

Kind of funny because I'm also a Panthers fan--always kept my eye on them because when I was growing up, I was a big Beezer fan. SO I'm really curious if there will be a Hawks/Panther deal (again). I like that Hayes and Pirri ended up there. Plus the addition of Luongo was cool. I'm also a big Gudbranson fan. He's a throwback to an older style of Defensemen you don't really see any more: bigger, stay-at-home, bruiser. I wish they still had Markstrom. He was a little shaky when there, but has really developed nicely in the Comets.
- Hank3Henshaw

That's when I became a Panthers fan. Actually, it was when they drafted Jovanovski. Yeah Panthers are the Hawks South. Hayes has been a real pleasant surprise and scoring goals he should be by using his size. Should have over 20 by seasons end. Pirri also has a nice shot and would help the offense tremendously if he can stay on the ice. Olsen, however, I think he was on the opposite side of the streetlight where Stapp was.

TRADE: #CBJ deal Adam Cracknell to #stlblues for futures.
- mrpaulish

They are sending him to the AHL.

TRADE: #Leafs get T.J. Brennan from #Blackhawks for Spencer Abbott.

Why does it have to be one or the other. I want both, payback and a win. To come out of the game with no win or no payback would be unacceptable.
- Hawksnbears

If you go for the payback your team might come out even worse than before. Do you really want that? Leave it be.

From Hockey's future (another small forward, just what we need):

Talent Analysis

Abbott is a highly-skilled forward with great vision. He is known for his playmaking ability and technical skills but his lack of size and bulk present a challenge at the highest level. He is a huge asset on the powerplay and isn’t afraid of going into the dirty areas.

Future

Abbott attended camp with the Leafs before being assigned to the AHL's Marlies at the start of the 2014-15 season. Now in his third pro season, he continues to be an effective playmaker at the AHL level but has not seen any time at the NHL level. Abbott's skill set suggests he could provide an offensive spark in the right NHL situation but at 26-years-old it appears he may be more likely to receive that opportunity in Europe

Jagr to Panthers for a 2nd and 3rd

Nice! Jovanovski was cool, man. Someone uploaded a great VHS from like 1994 onto Youtube that chronicles the birth and first season of the Panthers franchise. Really good watch. Some hilarious '90's outfits/haircuts in it too.

So what happened with Olsen? He was a good prospect and I thought he would pan out really nice for Florida. What are your observations??

Why though?
- mrpaulish

Overcrowded blue line right now in Rockford with TVR back?

There it is boys.

There's the trade deadline for you.

Nothing to see here anymore, carry on.
